For sheer quality of life, you cannot do better than Santa Maria, which has the highest GDP and standard of living of any of the Cape Verde group of islands. It started life as a lively little fishing town on the southern coast of Sal. Ferries leave from here to other islands in the archipelago. The population boomed in the 1990?s, with the arrival of the first housing developments, and has been steadily increasing ever since. With its international airport and wide range of hotels, Sal is the main tourist destination of the increasingly popular and upmarket archipelago of Cape Verde.
A particularly splendid beach offers many opportunities in terms of new low-rise constructions which are being built to particularly high standards. Anyone who has ever dreamed of a luxurious beachfront apartment at an affordable price will wish to take a closer look at what is on offer here, whether as a second home or as a buy-to-let.
